Reclaiming San Francisco’s Streets:A Community-Driven Movement
San Francisco was built by dreamers, risk-takers, and hard-working residents who made this city thrive. But today, something has gone wrong.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA)—an unelected, unaccountable agency—is reshaping our streets without listening to the people who live and work here. Businesses are closing. Neighborhoods are struggling. Residents are being pushed out. And yet, SFMTA keeps forging ahead, ignoring the damage left in its wake.
We say: Enough.
What We Stand For
We are a working group of residents, business owners, and everyday San Franciscans who refuse to be sidelined. We are here to:
Give a voice to those harmed by SFMTA’s policies and projects.
Educate voters about the agency’s plans—before it’s too late to act.
Demand accountability and real solutions that serve the entire city, not just special interests.
Why This Matters
Great cities don’t succeed by silencing their people. True progress comes from collaboration, transparency, and smart planning that balances the needs of all.
San Francisco deserves a transit system that works for everyone. It’s time to take back the conversation and ensure our voices are heard.
Join the Movement
This isn’t just about transit. It’s about the future of our city. If you care about San Francisco, about small businesses, about livability, about fairness—it’s time to stand together.
Stay informed. Speak out. Make a difference.
Action Must Be Taken
The SFMTA Data Feels Off
We have recreated the MUNI Satisfaction Survey produced from January 23, 2024. We would like to get larger sample size than SFMTA provided and compare the data.
This is an exact duplication of the original survey.
-
There are 500,000 registered vehicles in San Francisco that are required or simply chosen by people for any number of reasons: MUNI is unsafe, MUNI is too slow, caregiving, school runs, afterschool sports and activities, running errands, making large purchases. Yet the SFMTA chooses to pretend that 500,000 cars are just going to disappear, like the parking places they keep eliminating.
